A man and woman have been arrested after an alleged carjacking saw a Porsche plough into a police car yesterday - leaving four people in hospital.

A major search was launched after a woman was allegedly threatened and robbed of her Porsche Macan in Glasgow’s Hyndland area at around 6.30pm on Wednesday.

The force helicopter and traffic officers attempted to trace the sports car - which retails for around £45,000 - for several hours before it was involved in a crash with a marked police Audi in the Temple area at 12.10am yesterday.
